西班牙配樂者Javier Navarrete，半路出家的音樂背景，卻以寫作音樂會作品開始受到導演邀約，讓人對他的音樂品味更為好奇，他曾在訪問中自述，美國極微主義音樂家對他的影響很深，而他也偏好歐陸電子樂，如Brain Eno的作品。《潘神的迷宮》是他第二度與導演Guillermo Del Toro合作，兩者前一次合作則是「惡魔的脊骨（El Espinazo del diablo）」，Javier的電影音樂多半為西班牙本土導演所作，也因此Javier的名聲，沒法像他的西班牙同鄉Alberto Iglesias一樣被全世界所聽到。 Javier Navarrete (born 1956, Teruel, Spain) is a composer of film scores. His most famous score, for which he got his Academy Award nomination, was for Pan's Labyrinth (his second collaboration with Guillermo del Toro, the first being The Devil's Backbone). He also wrote the scores for Whore, Dot the i, along with various other Spanish films. He has also scored films in the U.S., including Mirrors and Inkheart.
